Hi! I’m Claire Crean, the proud creator of Jazzcat: The Cool Cat Who Followed His Musical Dreams. As a passionate educator, storyteller, and lifelong lover of music, I’ve always believed that children deserve stories that uplift their spirits, ignite their creativity, and celebrate who they are just as they are.

Jazzcat was born from a deep love for rhythm, imagination, and the power of dreaming big. Inspired by the vibrant world of jazz and the boundless potential in every child, I created this story to spark joy, confidence, and courage in young hearts.

Whether I’m writing, teaching, or speaking to young audiences, my mission is always the same: to help kids feel seen, heard, and inspired to chase their dreams with boldness and heart. Jazzcat is just the beginning. I’m excited to keep creating stories that make a lasting, positive impact.
